"It will depend on the success of this one, but right now I think I'm gearing one up. It will be quite different," he said.

In one of the Q&A sessions, Sly mentioned going a bit more "surreal" in the fifth film, and crossing into a "different genre." It sounds to me like either ghosts are getting involved, or we're going on a Lynchian exploration of Rambo's psyche.

i haven't seen it, but Rambo comes home to the States at the end, yeah?

set it in an urban hell-hole...Detroit, or my beloved Oakland come to mind. JR is squatting in an abandoned tenement or living in a shelter or some low income housing - he sees the vicious drug trade/drug wars/gang wars first hand - and he does something about it.

Something...violent.

After trying to avoid it and paying lip service to various Buddhist like ideals, of course.

The situation could include corrupt cops (a nice throwback to the original - not that Dennehey was corrupt, but seeing Rambo fuck up some pigs would be awfully sweet), JR training an Army of younger kids...

could work, I reckon...

Personally, I'm an atheist in the voting booth and a theist in the movie theatre. I separate the morality of religion with the spirituality and solace of it. There is something boring about atheism.

Main page has a link to a story about the possibility of another Rambo flick. Did the last movie do well enough to warrant a sequel? And what genre would Rambo find himself in now? Rambo vs Predator? Rambo & Son? Rambo: The Musical?

"We'll do something a little darker and a little more unexpected."

Darker than:???

WOW!

thoughts?

What he meant was the movie would be filmed exclusively during the night.

"Alright Shaggy - you and Scooby head over that way. The girls and I will go this way."

i'm thinking Period Piece.

Rambo: The Golden Age

starring:
sylvester stallone as King Rambo I of England
natalie portman as his wife, Queen Rambo
kiera knightley as some random chick in a frilly dress who jumps into fountains
and a bunch of nameless asian guys as The French

when The French kidnap the queen, King Rambo I invades with the help of plucky kiera knightley, lots of explosive tipped arrows, and a howitzer.

Rambo becomes a mob enforcer, then he goes to france, eats a royale with cheese, comes back and takes out his boss' heroin addict wife, then revives her when she ODs, then gets killed on the can waiting to pop bruce willis. but it's shown all out of order.

So is his dad named Roger Rambo, or the infinitely cooler Rambo Rambo?

For the new movie, how about he has to deal with his cranky disfunctional family who just wont get along with his new missionary wife (who is still shell shocked, and basically just mumbles, they make a cute pair).

Could be some freaky shit. Climax of the movie is the "Rambo" "Rambo" "Rambo" "Rambo" "Rambo" "Rambo" scene where he enters his own head, and finds a world populated by Rambo's and he decides to take em all out. Now thats an explosive finale.

how about, rambo goes to a new clinic to have his traumatic memories erased, but then, during the erasing process, realizes he doesn't want to forget all the people he has massacred after all... so he starts hiding brian dennehy and all the nameless faceless asian people he's killed in other memories of his childhood and his mommy. it would be called Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Rambo

or maybe it will be a film where rambo has returned and integrated back into society. but then he starts having hallucinations, seeing his son who died before he went to vietnam, and seeing these freaky demon creatures everywhere. he thinks he's losing his mind. but it turns out he's still in vietnam, everything in the previous films was just a hallucination, and he dies. and it's called Rambo's Ladder

How about goes on a holiday to find that women show an active interest in him and an old flame from his College years shows up (with a hilarious flashback to a labia being caught in a zipper) and they fight over who getsÂ´s Rambo.

It could be a winner, as long as its called "Everybody Loves Rambo."

This works too.

I did catch the flirty action between Rambo and the missionary chick. Missionary meaning she teaches the gospel, not the other.

Rambo decides to stop with the whole killing thing and become a French chef, but he can't because no one really wants to associate a former killing machine with fine cuisine. He's still got blood under his fingernails from the last movie, for chrissakes. So with the help of the floating ghost of Brian Fuckin' Dennehy, he secretly starts work in a kitchen while hiding under the counter. In the end, he impresses the food world multiple times over with his signature dish, and becomes the world-renowned chef he's longed to be.

It grossed $97 million worldwide, and the studio only gets maybe a bit over half of that. It cost $50 million and P&A would add even more to its cost. Assuming P&A was folded into the reported $50 million budget, it just barely broke even. If not, maybe on DVD. That's why all this sequel talk surprises me.

It's part of a franchise.
Do you think they don't intend on whoring out box sets with the 4 movies, then a year or two later, another box set with the 5?

The movies so far have made collectively what? over half a billion (dollars) in box office takings?

It's a goldmine & they wanna strike while the iron is hot, or, i guess more appropriately, while Stallone cans still play the character.

For an R-rated film with an action star in his 60s, I don't think Lionsgate/The Weinsteins came out badly from it.

how about rambo does soft-core porn. after returning to the US, rambo has a sexual awakening, and journeys the world in search of the perfect lover, including a very erotic scene of a nude rambo riding on horseback.

Rambolero

I've only seen First Blood and the most recent Rambo. Does Rambo ever get any action other than warfare in the other Rambo films?
